How to pause DAQmx acqusition

[starcha]

    I have one while loop in which I do acqusition (DAQmx Read in loop Start, Timing.. outside). Inside loop I have one case structure that is used to save acquiered data, but during saving procedure, which involves file dialog.. acqusition continues. When I finish saving case structure and back to loop, all data acquierd during that saving procedure is displayed on chart very fast, until it "catch up" .. I hope that you understand problem..

Hi,

Once started, you cannot pause DAQmx read, you have to stop itt and restart it

for solving your problem, the best option would be to 'open/create the file' outside loop and keep 'write to file' enclosed by a case structure inside the while loop ( as shown in attached VI)

hope this helps
